Topic: Upcoming Baptism (Read 942 times)

First, I wanted to thank everyone here for their constant love, encouragement and prayers during my many infinite ramblings throughout my time here--I'm very blessed and fortunate!

How very beautiful and good is our God, for it is by His Will that our 2011 is going to begin with a baptism: 8 of them as a matter of fact and all on the same day! This coming Saturday (January 1st), myself as well as a family of 7 (3 children under 10 I believe, a 3 y.o. and an almost 1 y.o.).

I would like to humbly ask for your prayers as this weekend fast approaches for all 8 of us, as well as for when we receive the Body and Blood of Christ for the very first time the next day.

I've waited for this for what feels like a forever and the fear and excitement keeps building, sometimes it makes me shake. Thank you so much!

Thank you everyone for your love and prayers! I come bearing pictures of today if any wish to see them. It was by triple immersion so everyone got quote unquote 'dunked'. (NOTE: I apologize for the size: I did try and edit them the best I could in Picasa so I hope I don't scare everyone )

Say hello to the newly illumined Lockerby family, myself, and our sponsors! (I'm to the far right next to the lady in the black top.

Blessed be our God now and forever and unto the ages of ages!
